The Governor and the DOCTORS.

The Maine Medical Association yesterday
put on record as their opinion that the Gov
ernor Of the State has been guilty of yio-
lating his official oath. The charge of
disregarding ones oath, is a very grave
charge to make against anybody no mat
ter what his past record. But here is
man who has grown up in this State from
boyhood, who has carried on great business
enterprises which have brought him in con-
tact day after day for many years with his
fellow citizens from all parts Of the State,
VINO has lived in the glare of publicity, and
against whom there has been until yesterday
no insinuation rejecting upon his integrity
or honor. His word has always been as good
as his bond. Through fierce political cam
paign Of months when party passion ran
high not one word was breatbed by the most
reckless and irresponsible speaker on the
stump to impugn his moral character But
now like a thundelbolt from a clear sky.
without warning, comes a charge made by
the Medical Association of Maine that he
has been guilty in their opinion of viola
tion OF his oath. What has he done? How
has he violated his oathe The Maine Medi-
cal Society say that he has done il bv NOT
enforcing a law-the medical registration
law. Is there any such law? The Med
ical Association assume that there is. and
on this assumption they base their charge Of
violation of his oath. That assumption.
however. is disputed. The lawyer under
whose advice the Board of Censors of the
Association on whose report the resolutions
of the Association are based, have been act
ing, is of the opinion that the measure is
law. Other lawyers quite as eminent are of
a different opinion. Gov. Bodwell believes
that 1t is not law and therefore does not
enforce it. Is he amenable to the charge of
violating his oath because he does not en-
force measure which he honestly believes
never became law? That is what the res
olutions Of the Association clearly imply.
And yet we do not believe that in the Med

What is known as the Soldiers exemption
act has passed both branches of the Massa-
chusetts Legislature, and it lies entirely with
the governor to determine whether 1t shall
become law. The bill is practically the
same one that was once before passed by
Massachusetts Legislature and encountered
the veto Of Governor Robinson. BY it SOL
diers and sailors of the late war are exempt
ed from the provisions of the State Civil
Service reform act. That is, they can be APP
pointed to Office without first having to un-
dergo a competitive examination. The bill
has been advocated Of course as in the inter-
est Of the soldier, and perhaps some have fa-
yored it on that ground alone There is no
doubt, however, that large part of the zeal
in Its behalf springs from dislike of the Civ
Service reform law of the State, which,
though popular with the people has never
been cordially embraced by the politicians.
The law is too well entrenched to be carried
by direct assault, and that form of attack
gave so little chance of success that its
enemies haye not dared to attempt il.
Their policy has been to weaken it by de-
grees, and IN pursuance Of this policy this
soldiers exemption bill was concocted. If
1t succeeds we may be sure that it will be
followed by other similar attacks, until the
fortress is so weakened that it can be easily
captured.
Gov Ames, therefore, is placed in very
responsible position. It is for him and him
alone to say whether this attack shall suc-
ceed. His party is pledged in its platform
to resist all covert as well as open assaults
on civil service reform, and W IN Gov. Ames
consented to become its candidate he virtu-
ally subscribed to this pledge 1t would,
therefore, clearly seem to be his duty to re
deem that pledge by vetoing this bill. The
fact that members of the Legislature.
who we're under as great obligation as he,
have violated this pledge will be no excuse
for his following suit. Neither will the fact
that the bill comes to him disguised as
measure for the benefit of the soldier; for
its real intent and the animus of its chief
supporters are quite obvious.

The ayowed purpose Of sending the battle
flags back to the States to whose regiments
they originally belonged is to promote har-
mony. When they get there the probability
is that they win be Haunted to the public
gaze in some public place. Now they are
lying out of sight in the Capitol at Washing
ton. How it will promote harmony to put
them on exhibition at Southern State capt
tails it is difficult to explain.

CURRENT COM M ENT.
THE BATTLE FLAGS.
boston Advertiser.l

The story is not contradicted that the
President has decided to return to the South
ern States the captured rebel flags which
since the war have been stored in Washing
ton. The excuse given is that it will help to
restore harmony between the two sections
to send these two flags back! The people of
Boston are nothing 10th to promote harmony,
and If 1t was to be done by any step in rela-
tion to these emblems of secession, perhaps
they might properly be destroyed. But why
OF rebeldom remains. These States pride
themselves on their loyalty. To preserve
these flags will be to perpetuate respect for
the cause they represent. No one can Justly
claim them, for the government which put
them forth is dead Better destroy these
flags, If they are to be moved at all.
LABoR's GREAT ENEMY.

Yet the workingmen's leaders seem to
think that, though the drink evil is formida-

self and 1t is equally clear that this self-in-
ficted injury often paralyzes its efforts to OBJ
tain release from the burdens which are i'm
posed on it from without. There are not
many situations in which the sober man is
not master of his future. There are no con-
ditions SO favorable that they may not be
neutralized by intemperance. To the drink
er opportunities are useless. Thrift and
drink are incompatible, and without thrift
the highest wages in the world will not
bring competence or assurance against PEN
ury. There could be no nobler more prac-
tical aim for the great labor organizations
than crusade against the drink evil.

The attempt to corner wheat in Chicago
has ANONYMOUSLY failed and the ring are
heavy losers. Sympathy on them would be
wasted. They were engaged in the disrspu-
table business of artifcially forcing up the
price Of one of the necessaries of life. What
they were trying to do was to rob consum-
ers. Vice generally brings its own punish
ment, and it has in this case. Nobody en-
gagged in legitimate business has been hurt
and the people in general have been helped
by the tumble.

MANHATTAN ORE.
The Rich Showing Made by Assays of
Ore From the New Camp.

Mark M. Birmingham, superintendent
of the Swan Reduction and Sampling
works, was engaged yesterday in assaying
specimens of gold ore from the Manhat-
tan district. Specimens from the follow
ing named mines were tested Hamburg,
Cheyenne Belle, Black Bear, Little
Tipsy, Joe Dandy, Manhattan, Big Bull,
Sacramento and Pierce Tunnel. The
majority of these claims are the property
of Cheyenne men, and will be opened up
at once. The average of the ore from
these mines is 1896. 20 to the ton. This
fine showing insures the owners a rich
return, as free milling gold ore which
yields but $40 per ton is considered valu-
able and is proftably treated in various
localities.
The output of these mines in the
Manhattan district will be treated by the
Birmingham process and several large
plants similar to the one in the Swan
Reduction works will soon be in opera
ton in the new camp.
The mines in the Manhattan district
were discovered and developed by Chey
enne men who intend to push the camp
to the front if possible. OF the 100
men at present working in that vicinity
fully seventy. five of them hail from
Cheyenne.
The mines on Seven Mile creek are so
situated that the process of tunnelling is
created facilitated, the fiat is found
on the high bluffs and tunnels are driven
from below. Work is being prosecuted
oil three tunnels and four more will be
commenced in the heal future.

A. Sonnesberger VS.. Samuel Ellison was
decided adversely to the claimant by the
register and receiver of the Cheyenne
land office yesterday. The land involved
is a timber culture entry In johnson
county and is described as the north half
of the northwest quarter, of section 81,
township 81 north, range "a west.
After careful consideration of the tes-
timony in the case the register and re
ceiver find that the entry embraces land
not properly subject to entry under the
timber culture act, and that the amend
ment of said entry made Oct. 3, 1884,

mend that the entry be cancelled.

Is a blessing for which thousands of our
dyspeptic countrymen and women sigh in
vain, and to obtain which swallow much
medicine unavailingly. For no ailment-

and dimes of those who resort to one
nostrum after another in the vain hope of
obtaining relief, as least, from this vex-

indicates Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as
a means OF graduating dyspepsia, in which
a firm reliance can be placed. No rem
